Where can I get the latest official RG28XX update for the stock firmware?
There really isn't a good cheap device with analog sticks huh
>>11396268TrimUI Smart Pro.
>>11396275I've heard the sticks don't give a good range of motion and sometimes miss inputs
>>11396280Can't say I ever had a problem.Just did a playthrough of Ocarina of Time on it and felt the same.
>>11396280They're recessed to the point they have less range than fucking sliders. Half life almost sucks here. I say almost, but it's fullspeed so I cant complain.>Missed inputsYou have to calibrate them like 5-7 times. They should suck less after that.
>>11396280They're not great but they get the job done like on the Vita
Whats the worst thing that can happen with the Miyoo Flip? The hinge ends up being worse than Anbernic's, the battery is still a heatsink, the analog sticks end up drifting?
>>11396364Worse hinge than the anbernic desu. I can tell by looking at it that it's not an sp style hinge where even the no name company that made the v90 didn't fuck up. It doesn't help miyoo has never done clamcells before, so they might end up pulling a retroid and do their own hinge style and ruin their flip line.
>>11396364them being up their own ass about it and making it 75 dollars
>>11396364The battery is still a heatsink, plus it's smaller capacity due to the Flop being thinner and housing sticks.
Does ROCKNIX not have a quick shutdown feature like ARKOS and OnionOS do, where you can turn the device off mid-game, and then come right back to the save state when you turn the device on again? I can’t find anything like that for the RG Arc
>>11396364It could have a worse battery issue than Anbernic's, shitty sticks (likely), or (what I've thought since they revealed the thing) the incredibly stupid bottom screw holes lead to cracks forming down the hinge. Like seriously, the original SP and its clones weren't stupid enough to put it directly on a piece that moves and might rub against another. They couldn't have put them a few millimeters up?
What does this do that the other chink sp doesn't?
Installed the latest Alpha build of Knulli on my TrimUI Smart Pro.Everything seems to work a treat.
>>11396225I bought this piece of shit.The memory died so I decided to not do anything for like 3 months.Finally decided to fix it with a new memcard but the damn thing doesnt turn on or charge anymore. I have a psp and 3dd that I didn't turn for like 2 years and they turned fine.I am soured on this shit. I think I will get a hackef Vita and emulate there.
I'm waiting for the ULTIMATE, FINAL BOSS of vertislop. The Modretro Chromatic. Nobody will ever top Palmer Lucky's autismal faithful screen and Nintendium on steroids. The anal log fans are in for a rude awakening this holiday season
>I sold my Odin 2 for a Retroid Pocket 5No one is this retarded right?Going from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 to a Snapdragon 865 is a fucking huge downgrade.

Jesus Christ that analog placement is uncomfortable>>11396609Has analog sticks and has OnionOS
Anyone have Stardew Valley 1.6.8 Compatibility files?Apparently Portmaster doesn't support anything above 1.6.8 right now and I downloaded 1.6.14.
>>11396685I mean if you won't play Switch, Winlator, or some of those meme PS2 games it's fine since you basically trade that power for an OLED screen.
>>11396721Yes what I really want on my $230 handheld is burn in. OLED is still a meme.
>>11396723Burn in typically occurs after 10 years. I highly doubt anyone is using their chinkheld for that long without selling it off.
>>11396728>Burn in typically occurs after 10 yearsI wish I was this retarded.
>>11396634If it's a rg35xx then it'll need a card with an OS on it in order to charge.
The hype is real for Miyoo Flip
>>11396689>has OnionOShow would a device not running the same chip have a community driven OS without them having the fucking device to port it on to yetwhy would you even say something that was wholly untrue to begin with
Weird how no one points out the Trimui Smart Pro having pixel-perfect GBC scaling. I know it’s widescreen, but GBA on the RGB30 was wide content on a square screen, and it was lauded for its PPAR there, so it’s weird how it doesn’t get acknowledged in reverse.
>>11396685Switch and winlator are memesMini led sucksNot everything is about power
>>11396868It's just a 720p screen, it's not that special.
Im having a weird issue with my TrimUI Smart Pro.My handheld is booting fine without sd. However my Fat32 formatted MicroSD with crossmix files isn't booting.
>>11396874Probably fucked it up while transferring files or using the USB transfer app (don't ever use it, big mistake). Happened to me once. I had to reformat the card and reinstall Crossmix. Now I just transfer things through FTP because I don't want it to happen again.
>>11396879I really don't know if it's a problem with the MicroSD I am using as it seems to be working fine, The crossmix installation page recommends using allocation size of 512 for 128GB MicroSD's but then my MicroSD only has 50GB of space.
>>11396225Should I buy a Chromatic?
>>11396883>>11396874I figured it out. Seemed my MicroSD got formatted to GPT somehow?Converted it back to MBR and it's all working again now.
>>11396225I'll wait for the revision without the sticks ieo
>>11396902If you love GBC games / the form factor and have the money to, I don't see why not. The only complaints I've seen so far is that there's no sleep mode and ever drive x7 doesn't work. The other chinkhelds at that price range do way more, but again, if you're only interested in GBC and having an accurate display for its library it sounds like its perfected that. I'm personally getting one so I'm probably biased. My IPS modded Color just doesn't feel "right"

Runs like a dream.
What would kill an rg353m out of nowhere? I got one new in September, have been playing it pretty often since then. But last week the whole thing went dead in the middle of a game (it was at about 50% battery according to the status bar on the Linux stock OS). Now there's no response to the power button, no LED when plugged in, nothing. I took it apart today and reseated the battery cable, with no effect. My best guess is that the 50% was inaccurate, the battery totally died, and that caused some memory in the device to corrupt and prevent charging, or something. Is that a thing that happens, or is there a better explanation? How can I fix it?
GBA on DSI XL screen the ultimate coom
>>11396953Any reason to get this over the Analogue Pocket?
>>11397070The reasons would be the custom-made screen made specfically for chromatic (native res, built in pixel grid which isn't a filter etc.) and having the same physcal feel as its got just the A and B buttons and doesn't have to accomodate for playing other systems. It also has a proper on/off switch as opposed to Analog's hold to power on like a smartphone. Oh and there's the direct video out through usb-c if you care about recording and streaming at all.If you want a multi-purpose device which does SNES, GBA etc. Then Analog is the better option no doubt, but if you are a diehard GBC autist who wants that at its most faithful and built to last Chromatic is the way to go
>>11396225>Miyoo device without Onion OSI sleep
>>11397081One point I forgot is that accroding to reviewers the Chromatic has a way better feeling dpad than Analog
>>11396731You don't have to wish. Realistically how many hours are you playing a game that will cause burn in? Something like a steam deck takes 9 months of continuous play in order to cause burn in. Have you ever owned an OLED product in the current decade?
>>11397087That is a big point. I’m personally not a big fan of the LCD screen, even if it is the GBC’s resolution, the saturation will be totally wrong and it doesn’t seem like they’re making any attempt to adjust saturation (which is odd giving the autism otherwise…)The Pocket has really shitty buttons and the smartphone power button is annoying so a power switch and usable controls would be nice.
>>11397112Yeah it's weird cause Palmer Lucky himself boasted it having better color temperature and I asked a reviewer about it and they said it's pretty accurate, but I don't know how it can be on an IPS display. But for reference someone posted this last thread
>>11397117I remember they had boasted about adjusting for accurate colour representation but that honestly looks like an emulator’s display to me. Unfortunate.
>>11397120Yeah. I think the pixel grid effect will look better in person at least. I quite like it on my Game Boy Light. Another interesting thing is that some guy who did a teardown found that there are bluetooth and wifi modules on the motherboard. Could lead to something interesting down the line in firmware updates
>>11397112Speaking of screen autism, Palmer claimed on a podcast that on some games the sprites were designed with subpixels in mind. Is that just marketing bullshit or were there Game Boy games that did this?
>>11397126I don't know if it's the same thing but I believe some used frame blending for some transparency effects.Can't remember which
>>11397129That's not the same thing.
The soulful muted colors of ds fat
>>11397043Was th sad card holding the os stock? Does your computer read it? If it doesn’t, it’s just the xd card being dead since it needs an os for the device to charge.
>>11396723My original Vita still doesn't have any burn-in despite thousands of hours of use and being an early, shitty OLED panel. Burn-in is only a concern for retarded poorshits like you who are failures in life to the degree that spending $200 constitutes a "major" purchase that you won't be able to afford to replace within the next decade.
>>11396225I don't get why these things don't just use the 3ds circle pad/slider things
>>11397216Because they're fucking terrible
>>11397046This! Native res and the right ips panel
>>11397156It works well for those games that shit the saturation to 11 to compensate for the og gba. Also best dpad
>>11397249False
I thought CrossMix OS on TSP lets you use PPSSPP Vulkan?I don't get any of those options for Vulkan.
>>11397216Jxd used to use sliders, but it wasn’t really to make the device pocketable since it was kinda big anyway. Phone hybrids like the one’s Iready/much and moqi also used sliders sometimes>>11397296That was something added to the chink update zip. Press x on the psp game in is list and you should see an option to use vulkan
>>11397316>Press x on the psp game in is list and you should see an option to use vulkanWtfWhy can't I make this the default.
>>11396634he fell for the free memory card
>>11397126You should ask him for a specific example and then take comparison screenshots. Claims like this aren't worth investigating with no hints.>hurdur one autistic schizo developer tested it on consumer hardware and went back to the RGB VGA to make alterations that he intended to be that way
>>11397212
>>11397117That shader looks fine considering many gbc owners here swapped their LCDs.
When i heard Miyoo A30's SOC is so weak. I didn't thought it need to be overclocked to play the same game normally on an RG28XX.I wonder if the reason A30's price has been dropping recently is because of the slop qualities it has ? I mean, as far as i know, you hardly need to overclock your device (unless playing stuff like DC or N64/Saturn).I also became even more doubt in buying it, although the cheap price is attractive.
Half the reason I got the RG-Arc was to use it as a 6 button controller for PC but the Xbox360 mode doesn't work. The other mode works but it's impossible to play fighting games with it since you can't input the d-pad and buttons at the same time, they cancel each other out for some fucking reason. I swear that faggot Joey was using Xbox360 mode in one of his videos for the Arc.
>>11397486Why not just buy a 8bitdo m30
>>11397442Everyone's debating the new GBC clone but I feel like my RGB30 with a grid shader, color correction, ghosting effect turned on, and the brightness turned all the way down looks just like a OG GBC
>>11397507I have one already. It's great and I don't mind using it, it's just really small for my hands.
>>11397507I agree with this anon, the m30 is my favorite controller
>>11397516I can't play links awakening on switch without it
https://youtu.be/woyGOWwPhfU?si=7Tuz8RnKhDSXwMxO
>>11397513I've been playing Pokemon Pinball on that exact same setup, was gonna mention it but you did it for me instead.
>>11397523What a lot of people don't realize is the 720 by 720 pixel screen is really important for getting the grid shader to look right. If the resolution is too low, the grid shader will look like shit.You need a minimum of 3x integer scaling to get a good looking grid shader effect.
>>11397518>They're using the same supplier>They're totally separate companies guysWhy bother?
What the fuck does "(Note: After writing the 16GB version of the operating system, you will not be able to expand the SD card or install ROM on the SD card. )" mean?
Is the Retroid Pocket 5 as they say?I have a RP3+ that I bought 2 years ago. I dropped it a couple days ago and one of the triggers is busted, so I could buy a new handheld this Christmas.
>>11397568It means the stock OS is garbage and won't expand automatically to your card's full capacity.
>>11397575Try not being lazy, repair your RP3+ instead and stop creating e-waste. You're killing our planet.
Whats everyones favorite/currently playing retro game to play on a steam deck. Im looking for retro games that feel better in a handhold rather than setting with my desktop pc
>>11397575If you drop the 5, it will shatter.
>>11397651Nothing lasts forever
>>11397696This. Thanks to incorporating a front glass display it not only raised the price, it makes it easier to fuck up the device. But it's totally worth it to have a few youtubers talk about how "sleek" and "premium" it is, right?
Which emulation frontend are you using?
>>11397793Front ends are a meme
>>11397720>Nothing lasts foreverOh yeah? What about summer on nu-/vr/?
>>11396634>I think I will get a hackef Vita and emulate there.Don't fall for the Vita meme, anon.
>>11397725I hate that companies listen to fucking techtubers. They're the fucking dumbest and out of touch with regular consumers.Anytime a cellphone comes out with like 4mm of bezel they act like it's the ugliest fucking thing on the planet and now we have gay ass curved edge screens with holes and notches in it, as if that shit isn't ugly.
I didn't realize it was this small.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcHAvnhyEEg
>>11397852I'm only going to be very upset if they take it a step further and incorporate a stick up top layout for future Retroid products, like a RP6 or a hypothetical Flip 2. We already have Odin and Ayaneo devices for that, they just need to inside the bottom sticks like the Vita and then the devices will be perfect.
>>11397881Please post a warning before you link a fucking wulff video
>>11397274Sonic Advance 3 is one of the later GBA games that had calibrated color profiles. Zelda Minish Cap did as well.Although the colors they used for GBA SP specifically actually made the game brighter, for some reason.Game Boy Player itself also has a built-in darkening filter (because Nintendo felt this was necessary right up to Virtual Console on both Wii U and 3DS), so if anything the game's Game Boy Player profile would've made the game look unnecessarily dark.
>>11397882They will. All shills are aggressively pushing stick top and taking points away for stick bottom.
>>11397651Now I'm going to buy a RP5 and throw my RP3+ into the sea.
>>11397914I've always played it with the gbp color setting regardless of where I'm playing it, always found that looked the best.
>>11397947New orders of R5 shipping never ever aka at least 3 weeks. They still haven't started shipping whites and day 1 orders of black and gc haven't been shipped.
>>11397882>>11397915Ayn and anbernic’s android devices already do stick on top. These companies don’t listen to youtubers as much as you think they do
>>11397084Onion is like crossmix (Technically more involved and impressive, but whatever) it’s modified miyoo stockos. The flip will have dual boot as said in a qq chat where one sd card will have miyoo’s stockos that will become onion and the other will be for stuff like rocknix/gammacore. Will you consume?
>>11398031
>>11398046
>>11398047
>>11398052I'm not buying one of these things until they're all released (including the powkiddy one) and I can buy the best one
>>11398031I'll wait until reviews and some time after that but I will probably coomsume one of them, yes
>>11398096powkiddy got a flip too?
>>11398121They’re making v90 and x18s successors but he probably just meant the v90 successor
>>11397793Daijisho because scraping is less ass. Anything that uses screenscrapper as a backend is slow as shit. Plus Daijisho is more lax about naming.
>>11397112>The saturation will be totally wrongNot from the DKC I’ve seen
>>113980474:3 looks so ass on these things
Got a TrimUI recently and for the most part love it, but I'm having a bit of a nightmare getting the portmaster games to work. I know it's possible, since I've seen videos of people playing them but fuck meThe one thing I regret is not buying it through that one site that sells it for a bit more than AliExpress, but preloaded with Crossmix and a more curated games list, including a bunch of portmaster. I don't even know how to make my own vertical shooter section on my crossmix. Anyone know if there's any cards like that cloned and uploaded anywhere? I'm just too much of a retard
>>11398198That's a PSP game anon
>>11398249>Follow the instructions to the best of my ability to play Doom I and II RPG's>Still won't launchSo far the only game I've managed to make work is Sonic Mania, but I'm assuming I just accidentally made that work
>>11398249I thought the newest ones on alie ship with cross?
>>11398489Nah, mine came with a nameless 120 gig sd card loaded with thousands of bunk roms with maybe 15% of them even being english with the default trimui os. Bought a 264 gig and put Crossmix on it myself but I'm just bumbling through it. I was told I had to use Rufus to format it into fat32, but as a result file transfers are only like 15 megs a second. Took 2 hours to put all my psx games on
Alright guys, help me decide what handheld I should get here. I'm in-between these at the moment: the 'nig SP and the RP2S, specifically these colorways. I'm wanting to emulate PS1 and below (no N64) which these both should be able to do no problem, but what I also REALLY want is something that'll be able to run EasyRPG Player well, so I can play some of those old games on the go and whatnot. I'm also wondering which one of these would be better in the long run. I'm hoping whichever I get would last a good while without any big issues popping up. I've seen some people post problems with their screens on the 2S and then there was the whole thing with the SP's battery. You guys think those are anything to be worried about, or just random QC hiccups? I'm kinda leaning more towards the SP here, mostly 'cause of the formfactor and because I had an SP back in the day. I've also never dealt with Android on one of these before, but I'd be willing to go through with setting that up if it were the better option. What do think?
>>11398585wait for miyoo flip
Is there a specific name for that effect where if you put a game on a display without bilinear filtering or any sort of filter/shader that corrects it the pixels stretch slightly and inconsistently? Like in this pic where you can see despite at first glance the sprite being at the correct ratio, one of Link's eyes is stretched
>>11398605Pixel distortion is what I usually hear it called from jewtubers
>>11398605That’s just incorrect scaling surely
>>11398605Reminds me of how the DS emulator for iOS looks, lul
>>11397459bump
>>11398605integer scaling is what fixes this. so i guess its liike non-integer scaling or something
oh nice, there's a thread on here for this.i looked at the spreadsheet in the OP and it seems like most handhelds play up to playstation 1 now at a high level.i think i want a gameboy style form factor even if the screen size is a bit smaller and i dont mind paying a bit more.is there a standard one that people agree on is pretty good or do i need to doo actual research on this?
>>11398692miyoo mini plus or anbernic rg35xx in whatever form factor you prefer
>>11396268>cheap>goodSorry budHere's a redpill though, RP3+ is dirt cheap now, especially used if you can snipe an auction. Throw in some hall sticks for $10 and you have an excellent device for N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, decomps like SoH Zelda, and limited PS2 and GameCube at sub $100From my experience the kingdom hearts games play at full speed at 1x resolution, and I played a lot of sonic heroes on dolphin with only minimal stuttering
>>11396634You need an OS flashed to the card retard
>>11398695i can go a bit higher in price if it's going to be worth it, this does look like basically what i'm after though.
>>11398702or you could just use your phone
>>11398692>>11398705Wait literally less than 24 before buying anything and make sure you look for those secret Ali codesIf you can score a 35xx plus for less than $40 shipped you're set, there's very little that can compete with it for price
>>11398712By less than 24h I mean the BF Ali sale is starting soonThis is still the king of all deals so far on a chinkheld, I hope it can happen again
>>11398712good to know, thanks. i'll keep an eye out
>after having to rest my hands numb from the crab grip my RG35XXSP gives me, I decide to dust off my ps vita and play a little game>The most comfortable and ergonomic shit I've used in a long time. which is garbage to emulate, because I really enjoyed my little cave story session. How similar is the TSP? Does it run persona 3 well?
I bought a tablet case for my Xioami Pad 6 and it's pretty comfy playing with an xbox controller. The big screen is good for SNES/PS1/PS2/GC.
>>11398782All horizontals are better ergonomically
>>11398782TSP feels like a flatter Vita, I don't know how else to explain it. It's just flat whereas the Vita is chunkier and heftier. I personally hate the Vita ergonomics and had to immediately grab a grip for my Vita after getting massive hand cramps after a week of owning it but the TSP feels more like holding a PSP if that makes any sense. I never had an issue with PSP ergonomics but something about the Vita just cramps my hands.
anyone got any experience with aliexpress disputes?>ordered three items (two cases and a v10)>got the two cases>delivery emails came at different days>after the two cases came, I got emails about them saying they had been delivered.>the next day I was at work and got an email saying the v10 had been delivered so I thought it would be delivered when I got home but there was nothing there.>so I disputed it saying the delivery never came and they rejected it, tried contacting aliexpress about it and they said it's your local courier service's problem>I then checked the order details and it said that they were delivered at the same time so I realized they didn't put the v10 in the package.Obviously they've closed the dispute and nothing I say can change that.

>>11398808Chargeback with paypal, but was speedx the courier?
>>1139869240xxv is a good chinkheld. 45 bucks
>>11398810cheers and no, I'm guessing it was just my local national one but not sure how I get that information, aliexpress won't provide it. I can track through cainaio or whatever it's called but that's it
>>11398835where'd you get that for 45?

>>11398865NetherSX2
>>11398782the TSP feels very thin so might feel odd if you have larger hands.

I’m sad I didn’t realize it sooner
I was pissed I had to cancel my Retroid 5 order and just bought one for 5 dollars more from a reseller. The second cheapest one on the site had sold for 20 dollars more the next time.
>>11398884>Original hardware>half the parts are replaced>even the buttons (ugly btw)Australia, please.>STILL not bright enough to play outsideNothing is.I wanna grab a GBA because one particular romhack has issues on emulation, but it's so difficult to find one with the original screen in good condition.
>>11398913>>STILL not bright enough to play outside>Nothing isThe RGB30 is shockingly playable outdoors with how bright its screen gets. Pretty impressive for a Powkiddy device
>>11398913>I wanna grab a GBA because one particular romhack has issues on emulationwhich one?
>>11398917I still wonder how Powkiddy gets their hands on good screens. Even though the original X18 wasn't a good device, it had a great screen for its time.
>>11398917I know, but I still doubt it actually passes a bright sunny day test.>>11398918Pokemon (Fire Red) Throwback, it has a GB Player item for original music but according to the author every emulator mangles PSG audio. Surprisingly enough, mGBA had even worse results than VBA-M.
>>11398808I suppose you could check the shipping sticker for a weight too; it might help prove that just the cases were in the envelope.
Does SNK have a patent on their clicky stick?
>>11398943Anbernic has a monopoly on those
>>11398931great idea, thanks
>>113989438bitdo made a controller with a clicky SNK style stick so I don't think so.
'eck got packed today.Kinda glad it's taken a bit to get shipped off, caught the coof again and I've been very sick. Almost better now and should be mostly, if not completely better by the time it arrives.What are you guys playing on your handhelds today?
>>11399007On my "Handheld" Im playing Xenoblade Chronicles Wii on 2x res.
>>11399010Been meaning to replay XB, it's been quite a few years.
>>11399010Scratch that. 3x Res on a Snapdragon 870.Seems to be holding out well. Can tell it's stuttering briefly for shaders but once thats done it's all good. In the starting battle managed to maintain a healthy 30fps once shaders were done so I have no doubt I'll be able to play the entire game on this.
Talk me out of the Anal Log Pocket. I don’t care for anything beyond GBA games. I’m looking for the following features in particular:>vertical/GB form factor>pocketable >quality, solid feel >can emulate everything up to GBA >can pirate games (Chromatic from what I’ve read is cartridge only?)>preferably no analog sticks, but not a requirement >max budget ~$200
>>11399030Then why not get a RG35XX Plus?It'll do all you say whilst being $50
>>11398854From the 11.11 sale. Black Friday might have similar pricing with code though.
>>11397442It's not a shader though
>>11399031I’ve never held Anbernigs in my hands before. Are the build quality and material decent feeling? A buddy of mine has a Pocket and it felt pretty good to hold.
>>11399030Former owner of the Pocket.Here's my take on Analogue>Amazing product, does what it does really well>Screen and filters are great, 8:7 SNES is fucking amazing on it>Company is fucking dogshit>Pretty well everything it does internally is done better by fanmade cores>Their support for fucking everything is hot ass>Sleepmode erasing GBA Pokemon cartridge saves still isn't fixed, lost my FireRed save when I was playing it while waiting for something, got called, quickly went to turn off the pocket but my finger slipped and it went into sleep mode instead, wiping my save>Open FPGA getting filter support took actual years>DAC support still doesn't exist>Replacement parts are not buyable on their site>Getting support from them re: literally anything is a shitshow>If it weren't for the community the Pocket would have fallen flatA lot of its core problems have now been fixed but it was frustrating enough dealing with them that I sold my limited edition for a little more than I paid for it to some retard so I got my cash back and I have disdain for the company.It'll do what you want it to do if you don't mind spending the money. No chinkhelds have a screen that nice unfortunately. Despite being LED it's fucking great, as are the filters because of the high res. Beware that some of their shells are cracking though (and guess what, you can't just buy a replacement shell!)
>>11399040The 40XXV has better build quality than the 35XX. But if you don't mind a smaller screen size, I’d recommend the Trimui Brick. It’s higher-res (768p vs 480p), so uneven pixels don’t look as bad for GBA and GBC. And a lot of the smaller jewtubers have said it feels very Pocket-like in terms of build quality
>>11399060>It’s higher-res (768p vs 480p), so uneven pixels don’t look as bad for GBA and GBC.Yes, they fucking do. However, GB and GBA integer scale rather well on 1024x768.https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/#src_screen:6,src_nn:1,src_crop:0,src_width:240,src_height:160,dst_screen:15,dst_width:1024,dst_height:768,dst_size:3.2,show_all:0https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/#src_screen:3,src_nn:1,src_crop:0,src_width:160,src_height:144,dst_screen:15,dst_width:1024,dst_height:768,dst_size:3.2,show_all:0
>>11399060I like TrimUI software but I think I'd still take the 40XXV because those shoulder buttons look not great. Of course, no first hand experience though. The 40XXV feels really premium so it's my go to now.
Almost ordered more stuff from Chang (BSP d9) but backed out on the checkout screen. Not today chang.

I can see powkiddy copying it when they get their powerful device shit together >>11398981That one is closer to the neo geo x which, while still not bad, the pocket is better>>11399113They’re rg300 style shoulder buttons. 40xxv uses miyoo shoulder buttons. Trust me, the rg300 is the first vertical to get shoulders right, but anbernic switched to miyoo styled one”s just to chase trends
>>11399353Isn't the Wii basically emulatuble on anything that can run GameCube?
I emailed anbernic for the 64GB version of the RG35XXSP firmware: RG35XXSP-V1.0.9-EN64GB-241018https://we tl/t-aLPK9PwogFI think it's cool that they have a sizeable selection of builtin games that are good while avoiding the flagship titles that'd get them sued.Is there anyone else out there building a curated ROM set that I can just plop on to devices like these?
>>11399413Nigga we all just get TinyBestSet Go as a base then delete/add whatever.
>>11399415No we don't.Some are content with the stock roms and maybe add a few as they go.Some delete it all and have a personally curated list of games they personally want.
>>11399415I looked at it, but I'm a bit disappointed in that it lacks many systems, and linux ports are important to me too.

So, any secret codes for aliex negro Friday?
just how bad is the miyoo mini plus battery life?i'm trying to play ps1 games and after an hour the battery meter says it's at 30%
>>11399413can you email them for the rg cube xx roms next. haven't had luck with customer support
>>11398585>EasyRPG Player,Pocket 2SThe only problem I had with my 2S was the screen was smashed in the box when I first got it, which Retroid replaced free of charge after going through customer service, even if they did place the onus of repair/replacement onto me doing it myself. Otherwise it's an excellent little machine but it needs a comfort grip. There's one on Etsy that's very good.
>>11398585Putting aside the brutal mogging in every other regard, RPGMaker can be so taxing you might end up needing the performance leap on the RP2S anyway. And you can run newer RPGMakers on Android too, though the results are all over the place.
>>11398585Get the shell if you want the novelty of not needing a case and being more portable. get the TrimUI as an alternative since it does all the same stuff but more and feels better
>>11399707>>11399708Essyrpg is just 2000-2003. What post 3326 device has problems with those?
>>11399742I don't have a specific example in mind, but I've had my share of RPGMaker falling apart on PC over the years.
>Aliexpress black friday has worse sales than 11/11lmao fucking chinks

>>11399907
Are there any retro handhelds that are worth it when it comes to DS/3DS or do I just go for a second hand 3DS XL?
>>11399916Unless you're willing to shell out nearly a thousand dollars or more for an Ayaneo Flip DS, you're better off buying a used 3DS XL. DS games are poorly upscaled with a smoothing filter though, unless you hold down the select button before booting into the game. But I find that it's still a pretty big waste of the screen size, in that end you may be better off with a DSi XL for DS games.
Dual screen devices were the worst era of gaming.There is no need to contribute any failed counterarguments to this point.
>>11399939when you're right you're right.
I need microsd's for all the shit I bought on 11.11. Should I get big or small cards? What sales we got for blackfriday?

For the clueless bastard here who had hopes for the brazillian Loki, preorder for the Loki Zero is up at $465, slightly under local 64GB LCDeck prices. That's a 3050e, same as that pile of shit Win600.
>>11400151only two dollars and change? wow!
Well, here we go.
Star Fox 64 port reveal and demo: >>695339810Might hit Portmaster eventually.
>>11400183Crap.>>>/v/695339810
>>11400151Jesus, that's outrageous for such an outdated processor. I dont think even the Loki Zero was that expensive when it came out, that's some crazy mark up.
>>11400175>not oledDisappointed.
>>11400175oh shit he boughtedsteam deck is an excellent system but definitely on the heavier/larger end obviously, it made me dip my toes into linux genuinely recommend changing it to an OLED if you have the spare cash for it or want to put it on something like paypal pay-in-4, if you'll only have one deck the OLED screen, better specs and better battery life are a good decision
>>11400204it was announced at $200, may have gotten bumped up to as high as $250 once it actually released. Can't remember for sure. But yeah, that was like 2 years or something and still dramatically cheaper than this. I really don't understand why it's so fucking expensive when it's literally being manufactured in Brazil with 3rd-world wages to avoid their insanely high tariffs.
>>11400352The LCD model was expensive enough as is. I am poor, but I'm working on getting better and finding work.>>11400353Are the OLED specs really that much of a bonus to merit the extra $150+ for the OLED 512?
>>11400406It's a 3DS vs. New 3DS situation with LCD vs. OLED. All of its upsides are nice to have but it's not strictly necessary.
>>11400407That is what I thought. Still the same amount of RAM and overall hardware, just a different screen and CPU.
>>11400424Battery life improvements, better wireless under the hood (Wi-Fi 6E vs. Wi-Fi 5), HDR, 90hz screen instead of 60, screen is slightly bigger, 10 extra watt hours on the battery.
>>11400431Oops, listed battery life twice.
Anyone here regularly use an RG-Arc, D or S?>what CFW do you run?>how is the sleep mode?>what systems do you like playing on it besides Genesis?>How does it play with analog-centric systems like N64 and Dreamcast?
>>11400352Not being Oled is a feature. Try enjoying those inky blacks over that screen burn in 8 months.
>>11400485Still waiting for those RG556 burn-in screens to kick in. Just two more weeks!
>>11400485My timPhone is 6 years old now, OLED, no burnin yet. When's it going to kick in?
Do LCDtards not realize that burn-in only happens when a screen stays on an image for a LONG TIME? Something that never happens with handhelds because they’re constantly being put to sleep?
How come NetherSX2 or AetherSX2 doesn't have a "Clamp mode". In Gran Turismo 4 to fix the "Full Throttle" and Split timing text you need to turn clamp mode to full but there is no clamp mode setting?
My RP5 hasn't shipped yet and I've got a Gamecube model that is shipping first priority
>>11400657They're only doing the very first preorders right now so if you didn't get it in those initial 24 hours, you're still waiting.
>>11400431>90If it ain't at least 120 vrr it ain't worth stepping up from 60 to. I don't even play mine that much for battery to be an issue. I also got my 512gb model for like $360 when they had a sale not too long ago. Better value there imo
>>11400465Not regularly but I've had one for almost a year. Still waiting for a good cfw, but aside from ports not working I dont really have an issue with stock.I'm a shutdown Chad, but the few times I used sleep it wasn't bad.I mainly play gba on it, which looks and feels great to play.
You can grab an rp4pro for $158 (ignore my cuck tax)
>>11400725
>>11400725>>11400726so? what's it do that my steam deck doesn't
>>11397192The SD card is stock. Still works fine in my PC though. Unlike the Anbernic which is dead dead.
>>11398249I'd love a cloned card from one of those sellers that put fully working portmaster games in
>>11398249Not all portmaster games work on TSP for some reason. You get better results in Knulli but Knulli on TSP is fucking shit.
>>11400873https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G13J-WslADEI can not get any of these to work. At allEven fucking Cave Story that's listed as read to go. It's possible, there's literal video proof of it
>>11400567Not sure if this will help as I play gt4 on pcsx2 where changing clamping mode is no longer needed, but make sure you have the latest Nethersx2. It probably has gt4 fixes already implemented.https://github.com/Trixarian/NetherSX2-patch
>>11400886Stardew Valley wasn't working for me till I found out that any version above 1.6.8 doesnt work currently so I just depot downloaded the 1.6.8 compat files and now it's working.>>11397037
>>11400889Will give it a try anon.
>>11400889Well looks like the app now has clamp modes so might be able to get a nice looking GT4.
>>11400904GLHF. This is one game where I think it's worth playing on PC for the higher resolution rendering and Spec II mod.
>>11400913NTA but do you have a YouTube video to set it all up? I'm kinda interested now.
>>11400915The mods you'll need are >GT4 HD texture replacement pack>GT4 HD HUD/GUI>Spec II modThis is the end resulthttps://youtu.be/qFz1b6Up17QSame guy has setup videos

>>11400942Why would you need a compat mode for android? Just goolge the apk.
if anyone here makes portmaster games I'm begging you to do star of providence it's perfect for these devices https://store.steampowered.com/app/603960/Star_of_Providence/
>>11400920You could apply all these to the android emulator really. But probs just do the HD hud and spec 2 mod.
>>11400920What is this missing?GT4 is like 5.2GB. Online Public Beta is 2.5GB and Patch is 700MB bringing it close to 3.2GB.What is missing?
Are there any handhelds in this form factor?
>>11400889The clamp mode worked but man...If I don't turn clamp mode back to default before exiting the app will just force close the moment I boot a game. FUCK.
>>11401065Funnily enough changing it whilstin game causes the crash. However clearing in game settings then changing game properties and doing the edits has no problem. Very strange.
>>11398704>>11396740Welp I will be damned it was that. Thanks.>>11397827I remember hearing it was a good handheld for emulation?
>>11401092it can barely handle super nintendo
First few hours with my cheapo RP4ProHonestly my bias against lagdroid is being strongly challenged>input lag is around the same as an H700 device, auto frame delay and run ahead take care of it>works as a mini android tablet for tubular/newpipe, as a pmp (SD slot and supports a USB DAC if you need one)>downloading shit directly from the device is handy >android filesystem management is aids but termux helps a lot >can torrent and watch animu directly on device >there's a rooted image available on pajeetxda >dolping is genuinely very good, I just downloaded the official apk and everything just werked at full speed>haven't tried too much PS2 yet but KH1 and KH2FM run great >ports like Zelda SoH run very wellBasically a small eck that fits in my pocket. I hope they keep this form factor for a 5s or something, the 5 is just too damn big looking
What's a good speed classification for SD Cards? Where's the "fast enough" so I can budgetmax size without suffering?
Still not being able emulate Xbox after almost 25 years sucks but Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2 having android ports makes up for it a little.
>>11401214Literalmy doesn't matter for chinkhelds
>>11401117Gba is full speed now (Even chinks of memories doesn’t freeze in the intro), but homebro ports are what’s given more of a focus over emulator optimization on vita sadly. On 3ds, its the other way around for some reason. >>11401194Next one will either be the same size or maybe even bigger. It’s not like you’ll upgrade anytime soon, so just enjoy your chinkheld.
>>11400465I have the S. Retro Arena is my preferred OS, but Rocknix is good too. Sleep mode is... well, it's rockshit lmao. Obviously sleep should be fine if you use GammaOS or the stock Android on the D, and allegedly it's working correctly on Rocknix (kinda doubt but i've never tested it so w/e), but on stock and Retro Arena you can just fucking forget about it. I never attempt sleep anymore, just turn it off and on. It's worth mentioning that'll you be able to run GammaOS Core on the S once that leaves beta (dev said that will be soon), but you'll want a fast SD card to load it from.>what systems do you like playing on it besides Genesis?It's my preferred 'eld for anything it can run decently, which is PS1-down basically. I play a bit of all of that on it as a result, but Megadrive, Neo-Geo, general arcade, Game Gear, and Neo-geo Pocket Color definitely make up the majority of it.>analog-centricWould not advise.
>>11401430How's the dpad for tank control games? It looks like it's almost perfect for anything.
>>11401474>THE FUCKING MIYOO MINI V4 SMOKER PLASTIC YELLOWSo it's INTENTIONAL?
>>11401474The only one that doesn't look like complete ass is the SNES styled one. What the actual fuck were they thinking with these colours?
>>11401474@0:14, it's insane they would do a side by side comparison of how bad their screen is compared to the GBA SP's, let alone fucking play the GBA stretched to full screen like that. These Miyoo fuckers really have no idea what the fuck they are doing and lucked out with the Tiktok ads.
>>11401474Anbernic SP wins just by having better color options.
>>11401480Someone told me that it’s supposed to be Pikachu-colored (yellow w/ black highlights and red cheeks/buttons), which makes it look not AS bad of a fuckup, but it still looks a little too dull for a Pikachu color
>>11401474This is a great advertisement for the RG35XX SP, unironically.>>11401496That's a terrible fucking cope by "someone". It's specifically using DMC red buttons and the V4 didn't have red buttons.
It's going to be the V4 all over again, lmfao
>>11401507I don't think it's a cope since chinks recognize it as pikachu themed, miyoo edition. This one's meant to go with stickers that match the color. That mini is a straight fuckup though
>>11401519Is it Chinese fans saying it reminds them of Pikachu, or did Miyoo actually state it's meant to be Pikachu?Either way, all three colors are wrong.
>>11401496>>11401519Pikachu is yellow, brown, and red.
>>11401496I never would have guessed that its meant to be Pikachu-themed. I thought they were actually trying to recreate the image of a smoker-yellowed Famicom.
>>11401496That is NOT Pikachu yellow at ALL. It's sun bleached 1980s PC monitor yellow.
>>11401517>128 h in one dayWhat did he mean by this?
Do you guys wait a bit after playing your handhelds to charge them, so the battery can cool down, or do you plug them in straight after? Is that something to be worried about with these things?
>>11401528"Miyoo edition" meant as in their style. It's to get people to buy the matching stickers.>>11401541The trimui gets hotter playing gameboy games than ps1 for some reason so I wait for it to cool down. My v90"s battery also bloated from getting too hot, so it's better to be safe.
>Miyoo Flip DOESN’T actually have a 3566>it’s actually the exact same chip as in the MM/+>guaranteed full compatibility with OnionOS + stick functionality and quick shutdown upon closing the lidWould it save the company?
>>11401572The flip failing wouldn't even kill them. Chink companies can thrive with one decent (Or bait for the grandparents) device alone. Look at sup and the people that make the x handhelds. (Not half the powkiddy one's)
everytime I order a retroid I think I'm mentally prepared for how small they seem in real life compared to pics, and somehow I never actually am. The RP5 really is fucking tiny. Also I'm already hating the absolute fuck out of the glass front holy shit.
>>11401612Would you call it pocketable?
>>11401612>The RP5 really is fucking tinyIt's larger than any PSP. I think we've all just become used to large handhelds with the Switch and Deck.
>>11401572Not at all. You people forget these things sell purely on surface level aspects and we're the only ones who use those long enough to need a sleep mode. So you'd have this horribly aged chip competing against a N64/DC/PSP "capable" $50 something SP.
just got a free r36s. i already have a miyoo mini v4, what will i think of it?
>>11401628You're getting a lightbulb in the mail.
>>11401628I don't have one, but apparently the d-pads aren't that great on it?
>>11401729I had it. Both the buttons and dpad were mushy and slightly floaty, so to speak.They just worked for me. I don't play much fighting games, but I figure the experience would be lacking for those.
>>11401729from what i can see that's a pretty easy fix by just turning a screw a half a turn looser. not sure HOW that fixes it but that's apparently the fix i've seen on many channels. >>11401726i can guarantee i'm not.
>>11401732I'm pretty sure you are, but do post your package when it arrives.
jewtubers are such downplaying shill cunts holy fuck, this glass front is way more annoying than any of them let on. the plastic on the back is also meh af, I don't know what they were creaming themselves over. the actual grip parts with the texture feel cool, yes, but even those parts don't feel as good as the textured plastic on transparent retroids. the plastic feel of the 2s overall utterly BTFOs this and it's not even close. on the bright side, the d-pad, face buttons, and sticks feel every bit as great as i remembered. l2/r2 also have more range than i was expecting which is good, feel quite good overall.>>11401613i wouldn't want to go to work or walk around town with it in my pocket, but yes I can slip it in my pocket in a pinch provided nothing else is in the pocket. the ergo bumps DO make it noticeably less slim feeling in the pocket than something like the rp3+ tho, which i actually wasn't expecting since they don't stick out further than the shoulders already did. turns out it did make a diff in that regard. it's enough of a difference that'd I'd say rp3 is the upper limit of "true" pocketability, while the rp5 is just a bit past that. in the realm of "yeah i can pocket this easily, but I don't want to keep it in there for long".>>11401618you're right but i also feel like a lot of people don't remember how small the psp 2k or 3k actually is unless they've used one recently.
>>11401474WhoaThis looks BADIt took them TWO YEARS to make THIS?
>>11401474Wow, all the colorways look like shit except for the SNES one, and even then it's the same played out design we've seen a million times. Are these idiots allergic to making SP clones that look like said SP's they're copying??? How is the Silver 'nig SP the only one in the OG colors? They'd probably get more sales from people who are gonna skip this, if they'd go for that nostalgia angle, but I guess that'd be too obvious of a move.
>>11401628Chang is going to mail you a half eaten covid19 bat
>>11401883he won't, but believe what you wantit'll be here Wednesday. until then you could try answering my question (what will i think of it?)
This is cute, but a vert at 2.8 inches would be too cramped. I'm a vertiwhore thanks to the GBP and GBC, but the RG28XX is juuust right in my hands. Having them closer together, I might as well get a Miyoo Mini.
>>11401905Their arctic ice colour looks rather grey.
>>11401905>>11401910does it really have that bullshit etched into the viewable part of the screen?
>>11401912No idea. It might be the screen film you peel off for all I know.Their 3D concept renders suggest these are the only four colours. The solid white looks bad, they should have done them all transparent.
>>11401917The final designs look way better.But like I said... I might be bias, but the RG28XX is great. Maybe the Miyoo A30 if you REALLY need larger buttons and the stick. Being vertical, it's going to be so fucking cramped. And it seems to have shitty Miyoo Mini shoulder buttons so you might as well get the Miyoo Mini V4 unless you're a hoarder/"collector".

Anyone got the goodboy galaxy gba rom? I tried searching but just a bunch of dead links.
>>11402035>Stick in wrong placeGet fuuucked, shill
>>11402039Crazy to me the V90 warms up more with GBA than PS1.But it's also crazy to me that the official SNES Mini plays PS1 better than the official PS1 Mini, kek
>>11402053That ps1 emu was meant for shitter devices in the first place. The pocketgo devices are just a lot weaker than the others.
>>11402049i mean it depends on what it can do, for 28 dollars i can move my hand down to play contra if i want and use the stick to play proper fighters with a non cucked d-pad. it's all up to what you like i guess. not sure what 28 dollars gets you with these things these days
>>11402086The DiiUM D-28S!
The more I watch reviews of the Chromatic, the more I'm starting to think that the FPGBC is probably the better option here. That thing's literally half the price and closer to a modern GBC experience than anything else. The prebuilt green option is tempting me...
>>11402153I was tempted by the FP but I hate that it has the wrong clock speed. And honestly if price were an issue I would just get an emulation handheld instead, since it's not I might as well go for the Chromatic for the better feel and screen.

Got my gb flashcart from aliexpress. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my fpgbc. Guess it's just random chance. I can use it on my gameboy color so I'll just use it there instead.>>11402153Go for it, I recommend building it yourself if you can. It's a fun experience and not very difficult. If nothing else it's a fun project.>>11402182The clock speed is a non-issue. If you let that bother you, you should be more bothered by the screen. It is still the cheapest way to use original gameboy carts on a backlit screen. And some people want the original cart feel over emulation.

I thought the R36S came out in a new cool teal green colour, but it's a fucking R36S clone called the, "FVBADE R40S PRO".
ENDLESSR36S CLONESFOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>11402534Kind of reminds me of those "Rock Candy" Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii third party controllers.

>>11402271>doesn't work on my fpgbcI've seen some people post that the solution to that is to reflash the firmware back down to version 1.08 or below, and that should let it work. How about trying that? I'd really like to have one of these things running on the FPGBC if I were to get one.
>>11402590It could also be a slow SD card
>>11402590Ooh thanks for the suggestion. I flashed the fpgbc from 1.10 to 1.08 and it's working now. I got this one if that helps.
Are there any retro handhelds that are worth it for gba/gbc games that can be easily sideloaded on a SD card?
>>11402612Yup, that's the one I've got too. Sweet.
>>11402534it's funny because that clone looks like it has better buttons
>>11402618For GB/GBC specificially, there's the Powkiddy RGB30/RGB20SX thanks to the 1:1 aspect ratio, at leasta if you want one on the cheaper end. There's other alternatives like the ZPG A1 Unicorn and the RG Cube which use Android and have more powerful chipsets, but it's a matter of debate as to whether you'll even need those chipsets considering the games you'll likely be playing.
>>11402690No reason to recommend the 30 now with the CubeXX.
ape escape is fucking atrocious to play on the TSP
>>11402696Is it that much of a step up in terms of a build quality? I've never used it or the base Cube, I've only used the RGB20SX. Which is fine, and they both go for cheap nowadays.
>>11402698I'll let you know for sure once mine arrives, but not having the battery throw a fit every now and then and zero light bleed (though I did get lucky with my 30) alone make it an upgrade in my book.
*cough cough* retroid... pocket... *cough* five.... ship estimate....
>>11396634IS this worth it?
>>11402763RG35XX, one of its fifty fucktillion derivatives from anbernic, or miyoo mini + are perfectly cromulent systems yes, get an R36S or one of its own fifty fucktillion derivatives if you're a cheap bastard though
>>11402763Yes, just don't use the stock microsd card it comes with or you'll fuck up like that retard you replied to.
Fuck, why did I dig up my GBC, I'm getting the itch to perform polarizer surgery now.>>11402772Seems they're shipping Koxias with older ones now, so there's a chance it's not ewaste.
>>11398605i use pixel AA or pixelate filter with retroarch, cleans it up
>>11396685RP5 has a way better screen and better ergonomics, which matters more when actually playing games. It also just looks way better.RP5 is getting close to my ideal "end game" handheld, personally. If the RP6 has the same look but with a SD8Gen2 and further in-set sticks, I'm finally biting the bullet. The Odin 2 Mini (or Portal) ain't it.
>>11402763(I'm assuming that's the original RG35XX.)No, the d-pad sucks and it lacks just enough power to not be able to use good filters. (It also can't emulate all Pico-8 games perfectly, I don't know if that's hardware or software related, though.) I recommend the RG35XXSP or RG35XXH or even the RG35XXPlus. They are all just strictly better. More power, better dpads, etc. And they only cost like $20 more.
>>11402185Cave Story is actually bundled in with Crossmix, you need to open Retroarch and scroll right until you see it.
>>11402840Seethe and cope, the Odin Mini is perfect. You ain't ever getting a SD8Gen2 handheld under $300 for a long time.
>>11401117For real? Because I have a GBA emulator on my PSP and it works well there.Anyways guess I will research that further someday.
What are the best formats for ps1 on these systems?Some games like Twisted Metal 2 and 007 racing fo not play bgms (And no voices in 007 case).Any good converters?
>>11403095What language did you play those games in?
>>11403103English.
>>11402701My RGB30 doesn't have battery problems since I installed minui
>>11403160There is your problem. Play games in a language you speak.
>>11402697Shit sticks or the dpad sucks using in all directions?
Are there any kits for clicky DS lite buttons?
does anyone know how to disable volume hotkeys? whenever I press select + r1 or l1 it increases or decreases the audio and i use select + r1 as my fast forward toggle..
Just bought some stuff from Anbernic, hope it's not a scam and I don't actually get anything in the mail...
>>11402696>>11402701The Cube is the 'held with light bleed, not RGB30
>>11403368No, every single RGB30 has minor light bleed at the bottom, with a few out there having it worse than average.
Any good Black Friday coupons for AliExpress yet?
bit weird how 3 of the 4 colors for the rp5 are almost identical to the 3 colors for the odin 2 portal innit
What would be better for a system to emulate GBA only -- the RG351P or the RG35XXSP? Horizontal form factor is ideal, but a clamshell is also acceptable.I wish there was an RG351P (incl. screen size) without sticks...FWIW, I already have a Miyoo Mini+, RP3+ and Odin 2 Mini. I just want a device specifically for GBA because it tickles my autism.
[Sad news] I lost my Game Boy Pocket.>>11403481Just wait then, there's bound to be a 3:2 screen haul again.
>>11401829What is the closest form factor available for the PSP that is not an actual PSP?

>>11396721>>11402840It's still a sidegrade at best. It'd be dumb to sell the odin2mini unless you get the original full value you spent on it.

Cute
>>11403481I would personally grab the SP at that point. I'm in the same ballpark as you in heavily eying the SP specifically for GBA, GBC, and GB games exclusively while I use the RG35XX-H for PS1 and the rest of the gang.
>>11403481Ahem.
>>11403403AAAAAAAAAAAAAA STOP NOOTICING
>>11403403Um acktually they only have the same manufacturer
>>11403563Won't GBA games look like shit (or be too small) on the SP due to the aspect ratio difference?
>>11403523Looks like a candy toy.
>>11403628Can't you 2x integer scale it and then slap the SP border on it just fine?
>>11403628>>11403653Yeah the border takes care of the aspect ratio. But it's not integer scale.
Hey brahs, I'm selling my switch (can't afford games and stick drift), so I'll have 1 thousand favela coins. What should I buy with that vidya wise? I got a pc, jailbroken ps3, and a TSP. I've been thinking about getting a vita because of ps2 and indie game support but I'm not sure
>>11403682Save up a bit harder and get a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro or Retroid Pocket 5 off of Aliexpress or something. A Vita is pretty shit for most actual handheld things, from personal experience.
>>11403682I love the Vita, but I wouldn't bother if you already have a TSP and are limited on funds as it is, considering they tend to go for a lot still. Assuming an 'eck is out of the question, I'd go for a stronger ARM chinkheld like a Retroid. RP4P in particular are going for dirt cheap new right now, many in barely used condition.
>>11403715*dirt cheap used right now
>>11403712>>11403715My issue with the TSP is that portmaster sucks with it. I would like to play indie games on the go
>>11403628If you wanna check it yourself, load RA on PC, change your resolution to 640x480, set GBA to 640x426 and apply an interpolation shader (sharp-shimmerless-shader is popular). For LCD effect, I think people just use overlays with grids over interpolated image.
>>11403682>I've been thinking about getting a vita because of ps2 and indie game supportHuh? Just aim for RP5 or whatever at that point, Vita has like 3 PS2 games.
>>11402781>KoxiasHow good are these? One came with my rg arc d
Anyone got the files to play the GTA Portmaster games on Crossmix?
>>11403095Chd>>11403487I just want a pocketgo s30 but good aaahhh, the children yearn for 3:2>>11403498M17 but I don't think any of the firmwares are good, unless something came out recently
Is there a handheld that's good for emulating gamecube games yet?
>>11403824no problems on retroid pocket 4 pro, so that and RP5/RP mini
>>11403628Yes
>>11403814They're the company that was once known as Toshiba, so I'd say they're actual good branded cards.
>>11403824The wii u gamepad.
>>11403841Technically I don’t think that’s emulating
>>11403682>can’t afford gamesMate, get your life together first
>>11403824The $200 stuff tends to do well until you try Rogue Squadron.
>>11403930I know I just wanted to say it
>>11403936Lol, I'm just 19 and brazilian. My parents just don't like giving me a lot of games
Does anyone have the stock firmware for this good old LDK 2.6?
>>11400465If this had two joysticks it would be fucking perfect for me.
The updated the Kernel of the EZ Flash Parallel.No longer do you need the usrcheat.dat for pokemon games.Looks like all the AP patches are now included into the kernel properly. Black 2 seemingly runs fine without the usrcheat. Any other games I could test this out on just to be sure?
>>11404116Is something wrong with retrofw?
>>11403682>can't afford gamesMod your shitch and replace the sticks, it's the most cost effective solution. Play indie shit on your phone if you must and emulate PS2 on your PC.Vita is a great PSP machine with Vita games on the side and some Android ports here and there, but it absolutely is not for PS2 games.
>>11403242shit sticks, they can't get pressed to their full extent properly so the character alternates between walking and running. Not that I give a shit about ape escape but if you considering getting a TSP and ape escape is on your must play list, maybe get something else
>>11402891>libretro core requires content but nothing was provided
>>11396225Is a modded 3ds XL still the best option for ds/gba/3ds games?
>>11404628It's the best option for 3DS and second best option for DS
PPSSPP keeps crashing on my tablet so I’m going to finally take the handheld plunge. Thinking RP4Pro is a relatively cheaper option for PSP emulation unless you anons have other suggestions.
>>11404629>second best optionWhat's the best option for DS emulation?
>>11404628Don't buy an XL unless you're getting a DSi. You should be buying the N3DS original because the pixel density on the N3DS XL is terrible. You'll have to pay more if you want an NTSC-U version due to the Black Friday garbage because region changing breaks DS support and system transferring can't be done. LL's are dirt cheap though.
>>11404628For all three, yes. A n3dsxl is pretty great for Nintendo emulation up to N64. It also has a few of its own jewels like mgs3ds and resident evil deadly silence.
>>114046403DS doesn't emulate DSI'm just saying it's second best to a DSi XLThe clamshell design is definitely better than most emulation machines
>>11404640AYANEO flip ds
>>11404213>EZ Flash ParallelIsn't that thing shit?
>>11404649Don't confuse him just say the dsi screen is better for ds games, but the 3ds is fine.
>>11404645>Don't buy an XL unless you're getting a DSiWhy specifically not for a DSi?
Anbernic has a big sale right now - Looking at the RG351P or RG35XX the 60$ range is the sweet spot for me so I'm watching videos on both but if anyone can weigh in on something in that price range do let me know
>>11404680Got the Cube XX recently. It's bigger than both, but super comfy.
>>11404687Looking at the RG40XX too. There's actually so many form factors I want it's unreal. cube screen might bug me
>>11404690I don't have experience with any of the other XX handhelds, so I'm just going with what I know.Personally, the Cube's screen is a huge draw to me, but I know it can be divisive among users.
>>11404669If I remember right the DSi XL's screen is perfect for the resolution of DS games whereas N3DS XL (and 3DS XL) have terrible pixel density and make both DS and 3DS games look far worse.
>>11404691The more I look at the cube the more I'm leaning towards that, or the SP. At this price range I'm not really sure how much use the dual joysticks are going to get though?
>>11402931that's because some people aren't happy anymore with running frameskippingwhile doing complete history revision that you could literally play newly released gba games on psp in 2006 via gpsp kai. that was ridiculous
Any tips on what would be the best option for something pocket sized, like no bigger than a DS was or something along those lines, the best options in general build quality and powerful wise
>>11404765I was looking at the magicx XU mini m for 55 or the anbernic SP for pocket sized
The rubber cap on my Retroid 5 came came broken. I can't be bothered doing a recall over such a minor fault because this thing is otherwise perfect and I probably will only ever use the Dpad anyway. Are there any recommended replacements?
Does anyone else have this ROCKNIX issue where the only working RA theme whenever you load a core is XMB? I entered RA standalone, tried saving config, new config, deleting overrides, all that, but no matter what, whenever I open the menu in-game, it always resets back to the XMB theme. Any fix for this? Google would rather show me how to turn ON the XMB theme than any other examples of it being stuck
Does anyone have the Trimui smart pro and can comment on it? for 40 dollars it seems rather good
>>11404834It's fine. You probably aren't going to get anything significantly better without paying much more.
>>11404839It's moreso curiosity rather than a need, but it seems to be the most powerful handheld with a large screen like that for 40 usd before you move up into the 100+ range which I just do not need
>>11396696https://1337x.to/torrent/6088661/Stardew-Valley-v1-6-8-GOG/
bought an A30 for 25$ what am I in for?
>>11404834It's fine if you want something stronger than the current $40ish Anbernic devices but don't want to start spending a lot to get into proper Saturn/DC/PSP/N64 support. It's like the middle ground between the cheap Anbernic devices and stuff going for $80-100. PSP is pretty much its hard limit and even at 1x with frameskip and some settings changed it still is very picky with what runs well or not. If the game was released later in the PSP's lifespan or is fully 3D it's not gonna like it. Dissidia in particular chugs sometimes even at 1x. Saturn games mostly run poorly, N64 is very hit and miss with Pokemon Snap being a complete slideshow, and DC is mostly the same situation as Saturn.Feeling-wise the d-pad is fantastic, shoulder buttons are usable but not the greatest, and face buttons are all solid. The system itself feels like a lighter and flatter Vita, I have no other way to reasonably explain it. It's not as flat or small as a PSP 2000 but not as hefty or as large as a PSP 1000. I would not recommend analog-stick heavy games on it because they're the Vita sticks which weren't exactly great on the Vita either. It clearly excels at anything that wants a d-pad primarily.UI-wise the stock is usable but I don't like it due to how the upper bar doesn't imply there's more sections and if you're not on that bar it sometimes doesn't want to shift to a new section if there is one. You also need to refresh the roms list manually even if you reboot and have put stuff on your MicroSD because it doesn't do it automatically. If Knulli's public version was actually usable I would never use the stock OS. CrossMix is what you want to go with currently since it's just stock but with better support and tweaks.
>>11404865Hi there!You seem to have made a bit of a mistake in your post. Luckily, the users of 4chan are always willing to help you clear this problem right up! You appear to have used a tripcode when posting, but your identity has nothing at all to do with the conversation! Whoops! You should always remember to stop using your tripcode when the thread it was used for is gone, unless another one is started! Posting with a tripcode when it isn't necessary is poor form.

I feel like it's so weird that the pocket DMG went with a touch pad instead of a second stick, it just cuts out games you can play for no real benefit considering it has a touch screen for navigation, i was considering one but at the crazy price point it feels dumb not to have a second stick for aiming in games that need it
>>11404741Dual joysticks are good for PS1 and PC ports. I would get a 4:3 screen if this is your first chinkheld.
>>11404871Kill yourself.
I know next to nothing about modern handhelds. I just want to play MHGU and maybe God Hand from time to time.What should stop me from dropping money on this piece of shit?
>>11404628If you want to play all three natively for a non-insane price, yes. DS games are either terribly scaled or stupidly tiny though, so get a DSi LL if you're going to play 2D-heavy DS games.Ignore the muh pixel density tripfag, you do want the IPS screens and only DSi XL/LL have them.
>>11405015Dude, I said to get the DSi XL because DS games look best on it. You don't waste your money on the N3DS XL because it makes games look worse, both DS and 3DS.
>>11404691I'm curious about the power comparison between the rgb30 and the cube XX
>>11404849I'm going to be honest here, I've been playing through Harvest Moon, friends of mineral town, and I see no need to play stardew valley
>>11405020You can install twilight menu on 3ds, then run DS games with better fullscreen filters, specifically a sharp filter that looks "okay"
>>11404817Switch RA theme at EmulationStation.
>>11405056Touch screen seems to be worse on that end based on that screenshot specifically but it does seem to look fine.
>>11405067I should add that a handful of games have widescreen hacks (like in that picture, but it only works for 3d games)They aren't being stretched, they are actually being rendered with a larger horizontal resolution.
>>11404834it's the best one for its price but I really hate how hot it gets on the back where the processor is located
>>11404989RP4/5 are enough for GenU and God Hand
>>11404802Is it the rubber cap that's broken or the actual underlying shaft? You can most likely bother Retroid for a replacement part either way (they're happy to give out things as major as screens and front plates), but the cap would be an easier fix.
>>11404863pretty decent up-to-PS1 system after installing CFW
>>11405051does harvest moon have dungeons?
>>11404989Odin 2 is overkill for that, but probably good for outlanders if you’re willing to give your soul for gacha hunting.>>11405254It has mines if that’s what you mean
I just want a linux handheld that can play n64. Why does this not exist.
>>11405258N64 or fullspeed n64? There is a difference
>>11405254Rune Factory does. It's HM with dungeons, basically.
>>11405257no i mean like does it have monsters and can you fight
>>11405271Oh, then you want rune factory like the other anon said. I didn’t even know stardew had monsters
>>11405248Just the rubber cap. But I bought it from a reseller who won't help me, he said either return it or put up with it and I decided to put up with it.
>>11405262Full fullspeed n64.
>>11405282https://www.goretroid.com/collections/diy/products/retroid-pocket-4-4pro-hall-joystickYou can also hunt around on Etsy and similar for thumbsticks that fit either Retroid Pocket 4 and onwards or the AYN Odin 2. Amazon has some chunky clear ones for $10 also but they're probably not as nice as Retroid's, and any third-party stick topper will be an enormous YMMV. I bought AXEEZ off of Etsy and the only ones that felt very good were the ones closest to stock Retroid's height.
>>11405254For that I play rune factory, which has way better art and music than shitdew valley
Give it to me straight. I ordered my RP5 on 11-11. When am I getting it?
>>11405297Which one?
>>11405306You have a smart pro, so 1, 2 and 3.
>>11405304There’s a nonzero chance you’ll get it before Christmas
>>11405297the problem with rune factory is that it's just generic weeb shit at the end of the day and i don't care for it. the artstyle is just terrible
>>11405316If ya wants an farmshit action rpg, you have very little choice and I don’t think the other farmshit rpg’s are on portmaster
>>11405306RF3 if it has to be just one.RF3 > RF4 if just two.Otherwise 1>2>3>4 with Frontier optionally between 1 and 2 and very optionally Tides/Oceans anytime.You can't go backwards with this series, as the QoL in a newer game renders older ones unplayable. This also means skipping a game that's already unplayable (like RF2) is fine.Undubs exist.RF5 does not.>>11405316>the artstyle is just terribleNo it's not. If you think it is, there is no word in a dictionary to describe the "art" of the rest of the genre.
>>11405329>No it's not.yes it is. my opinion on what i like and don't like is the only one that matters. i don't care for the overly weeb aesthetic.
>>11404817this kind of is part of why i like retro arena more. the split with what retroarch settings you can change within retroarch and which you have to set outside of retroarch is fucking annoying. and god forbid you want to update any of the cores
>>11405341Did you at least get stardew working?
>>11405341No HM with dungeons for you then. By the way, your opinion matters not for the rest of the thread.Forgot to add that only RF4S is better than OG RF4. There's no meaningful difference between versions (regions, platforms, remakes) of other games in the series.
>>11405357If he won’t play a game for the look, he won’t play a game for the look, end of story. I’m just surprised stardew has combat in the first place. I always thought it was just a faster (For farming) harvest moon
>>11404628Yes. Runs gba natively
>>11405297Yeah but xseed forced the devs of rf and SOS to shit up everything with gay shit
>>11405315Fuck.
>>11404871kek>>11404960glad to see you posting anonymously now
i been thinking bout coppin the regular cube cause folks finna play like sum ps2 n sheeeit, but the 406h has better analog sticks n sheeit (u know how we pull up wit dem sticks). truth be told tho, i feel like the 1:1 ratio dope for playing DS/3DS games on it cause i had one of those when folks was a jit but iiaint wanna get dem cardinal snapping which apparently CFW fixes on the cubeXX but not the regular cube. wondered what the gang n em thought bout this shit.
>Still mogs everything in it's price range How did they do it?
>>11405529By having higher expectations, then realizing it was under performing compared to similar offerings and it was running too hot, finally trying to compete with a lower price. It was accidentally a hit because they became humble instead of greedy.

It's pretty much in the same tier as other shit in it's price point. It's just the only one with a clicky dpad.>>11405534This happens with most chinkheld companies. Anbernig tried pricing the nigsp like 75 before reducing it and miyoo almost loat their minds with the shit chip the a30 was using.
>>11405529Crossmix OS really does make this hit way above it's weight. And it's getting a big 1.3 update this month that will only make it better
>>11405553Unless PSP performance magically improves a whole lot, I'm probably gifting this.
>>11405559The only thing 1.3 will add is qol, j2me, and doom mods.

I have reached a critical level of autism
>>11405529I'm not a schizo, so I don't normally play the shill card, but the trim UI is starting to rival the MM in terms of sheer number of bland>omg bros <insert device here> is so perfect, i literally have no criticismsposts in /hhg/. If you are a shill, pay for an ad. If you aren't, then get some standards or at least write>in it's price rangein all caps next time for emphasis because that's a pretty low bar to be guzzling down that much koolaid.
>>11405614It is a genuinely nice device with gay flaws like all chinkhelds, but the shilling here was literally sneedyoo tier. Mind you, most mini shills get impressed aith the fact it plays fucking gameboi games well. When I saw people using frameskip for psp in 2024, I knew something was up.
>>11405614>>11405619I think the fact that it’s a Linux device with a working sleep mode is worth celebrating alone. There is LITERALLY no other Linux device that does that; the rest of them have to cheat with stuff like Quick Shutdown, which still takes longer to turn back on than actual sleep. It’s like the main benefit of using Android, without the input delay.
>>11405553How bad is stock?
>>11405598You pip YouTube with games? Also based dave the slave enjoyer
11405525If no one replies it will go away
I hope you guys are happy
>>11405642I think the figure will let you down. I'd look it up, but I don't want my suggestions polluted.
>>11405626because linux is not meant for sleep mode at all. why the fuck your server os needs sleep? it's on 24/7 like my nas where i keep roms
This SP came in the mail today. My GBA collection is complete.
>>11405689Not that one, this one! I think I'm going to replace the screen because I forgot how shitty it was.
>>11404650If only it wasn't an x86 handheld. Not only is that so much power that you don't really need, but the battery life will be awful.
>>11405761I wish they'd make a budget version that ran android
>>11405761Says you, it's the ultimate Wii U.
>>11405763That would make for a fantastic handheld. I'd buy one even if it were just the Flip keyboard model.
>>11405761>>11405763One of these companies just needs to figure out a clone 3ds. It's not like it's so old they can't fab the chips anymore right?
>>11405793I remember hearing about this one device called the K2DS or something like that which was meant to be a DS clone, but I dont think it ever made it into production. A 3DS/2DS clone is probably way too difficult to do even without emulation.
>>11405553Not just Crossmix but also having a 720p 16:9 screen at the $50 price range is pretty crazy. And the clicky d-pad and buttons as well. It all just comes together to make it feel more like it should cost double of what it does.
>>11405820Max wasn’t going to make it a clamshell, it was going to be like the 2ds. He shelved the project due to lack of interest
>>11405831Wait, that's what ended in the project being shelved? I figured it would be down to it being too difficult to produce. What a shame, even in 2DS format it could've made for a nice device.
>Have a vita>Looking at Trim Ui Smart Am I retarded?
>>11405249It's my first foray into these handheld emulators
>>11405529Does this emulate better than a Vita? For 40$ I'm so fucking tempted but because of the lack of psp support I'm concerned but if it does ps1 perfect its fine I think
>>11405930That's the only reason I never bought one, I already have a real Vita kek. Still hard to resist when they go for so cheap and have better scaling/emulation.
>>11405948I just really like the form factor. I waited too long and now the listing I was watching is 45$ I should just get an anbernic SP
>>11405559PSP performance is actually pretty good, you just need to mess around with the emulator options. press X to bring up 6 different builds of ppsspp, varying between gl and vulkan. 1.3 is going to make it better still>>11405630Atrocious
>>11405950anon pls, tsp is way cooler and more comfy than the sp.
>>11405935it's not a bad place to start at all and arguably covers most shit you'd want to play anywayspersonally i like the front plate on a famicom flavored one i bought is actually metal
>>11405959but I already have a Vita!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>11405630Its the same shit pretty much with the chink update zip and trimuiex. Crossmix doesn't really change much in performance.>>11405942Everything in its price point (And isnt mips) emulates better than the vita. Just don't get it for psp
>>11405968>>11405981
>>11405984I actually hate how every time I look at the listings the prices are changing in real time by several dollars There's currently a ton with 6$ off coupons if they're above 39 dollars right now too so you could potentially get one for 33.
oh shit I bought an anbernic from a store with only 135 sold am I cooked? Should I cancel?
>>11405831>lack of interestSeriously? The used market prices say otherwise
>>11406006Nah that's probably safe. I've bought from stores with lower sales and got my product just fine. Not like there's much risk on Ali in general tho. Worst case scenario you complain to Ali, they bop the store, and then you have to wait a while for your payment to be refunded.
>>11406015I just canceled it since it was on the pricier side, also searching the store name brought up a few threads from a few months ago complaining about blank packages or wrong items.
>>11406014tendie paypigs will buy up anything official. im not saying there's no demand, but that's not a good metric to determine whether anbernig could make something that would sell.
>>11406006Assuming those 135 sales have ratings, no.
How much of a difference does 8 vs 16 gb of RAM make on devices that come with the option? I have no idea if any emulators actually need more than 8 and 16gb versions are just memes to raise the price or actually beneficial
I wish anbernic would make the SP with 2 joysticksit'd be perfect
>>11406090Doesn't really come into play unless you're playing the very high end stuff. Switch, PS3, Xbox.
>>11406093The Miyoo Flip was literally made for you.
>>11406096that shit is not coming out!!
>>11406095Thanks, probably only wii/ps2 level stuff at the highest but i never fucked with 3ds games at all so maybe that, i don't think there's any options for xbox on android anyhow
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
>>11396225after the Miyoo Flip, next step is to have a sliding handheld bros. Who's gonna release it? (apart from that Ayaneo thing).
>>11406159pspgo needs to be iterated on so bad its peak handheld
Are there any cheap console versions of these devices that can play psp and dreamcast?Looking to get a cheap option for my nephew.These things are made from the same chips as these hand helds so they should be even cheaper.
>>11406180oh and it needs to run emulation station or a variant so it can have preview videos
>>11406180no
I'm glad my rp4p can run god hand and kh2fm at full speed but god damn the input delay in nethersx2 is fucking nauseatingHow the fuck can someone play anything on this?PS2 on android continues to be nothing more than a meme
>>11406209If you can get root, switch the kernel with kernel auditor to interactive or performance can help with it.
>>11405614sooo you fell for the anbernig slop they shovel out every month?
I don't see why you fags don't just buy the original cartridges.
>>11406351I've kept all of my original cartridges (save for one) since I was a kid. Sometimes I just want something that can play them all and then some in a nice little pocketable package. Is that so wrong?
>>11406351They are all either used, stupidly priced, non-/vr/ and/or give my money to Nintendo.
>>11406351>free>moneyPick one
>>11406351>5000 games on one device>or one 150$ nintendo game on hardware that has become e-waste
>>11406351i bought all the games i care to physically own 15 years ago before late millennials got their grubby hands on it for their faggot tik toks and youtube channels. i have pretty much all the games i had when i was a kid, and despite having a million physical consoles, handhelds, dating all the way back to when i was 3, if i ever feel like playing ANY of these games despite owning them, i'd rather load them up on my pc, steam deck or miyoo mini since they just look and play better that way. it was a bitter red pill to face but emulators just do it better than the old hardware does now. i'm in no hurry to go back to the blurriness of my crt when i can get scanlines on my miyoo or steam deck.
So to test how much I REALLY want an Anbernic RG Arc D I did a simulation.I made an overlay for retroarch which matches the exact size of the handheld to my monitor size. Then I cut out the screen so that I could play games with the overlay, making a 4" window on my 30" monitor. Then I took out my Hori Fighting Commander controller, which is very similar to the Arc D with six buttons and a roughly similar size and tried playing some games on the 4" screen.
>>11405635Chris is getting buff, like potato buff with retard strength
>>11406596Apparently emulators can do everything EXCEPT for the ds well.
>>11406643Did something similar to decide between the X28 and the RP3+, printed them to their dimensions. I made the wrong choice.
>>11406675which one was the wrong choice?
>>11406704X28. Sticks snap to the opposite direction, slow RAM makes it the slowest T618, its Android is a little wonky, d-pad is so-so. Shame too, because everything else about it is brilliant.
Just another handheld concept. What do you think of the idea of only one column of buttons on a handheld?
>>11406753aaaaand I misspelled "display" the second time.
>could be playing right now but I didn't want to spend double to get it off of amazonwoe is me
>>11406753Moving your hand up and down to reach the buttons on the right would not feel good.
>>11406159That one zoomer kid making the M-Con magsafe controller
>>11406351I spent like $2000 on gameboy and gba carts earlier this year.
>>11406845of course you did anon
>Want to finally put some money down on a high end device and explore the possible usecases>RP5 seems fairly unbeatable at its price point>But for only $60 more i can get an odin 2 with a case, who really cares about portability anyway I play in bed most of the time anyway>BUT THEN I could just spend $50 more for the portal, big oled looks great>Oh fuck we're at steam deck price and maybe I should just take the leapAt which step do I stop
>>11406873My motto is that you always stop at what you want to play/emulate.
Reminder to crop the overscan area of your console games on handheld to squeeze out a little extra screen size.
>>11406821Well, you would also have the back buttons. So I think players could adapt. Especially getting used to using the L1/L2 buttons which often go neglected in older games. And how about four back buttons instead of two?
>>11406873Makes no sense whatsoever to me to spend Deck money on a chinkheld unless it absolutely nails ergonomics, that rules out zero inset layouts like RP5 and Odin 2. The backpaddles also make sense at that pricepoint, if not enough for my tastes. Still, those dreadful glass panels would keep me from buying it at the end of the day.
>>11406849I kept a spreadsheet. But here's one page from my ebay history.Hope I censored everything.
>>11406873I was in a similar boat. Was going to get rp5 but went up to odin 2 instead. Just keep in mind you gotta pay shipping for odin so if you're factoring that into the rp5 price, you should factor it in the odin 2 as well.
>>11406845>>11406919Why though?
so the new analog sticks on anbernic products are the sticks that will be on the switch 2, yes?
dug up my old 3ds xltime to cfw this shit and play uh... I'll figure it out by the time it's done charging
>>11406873>>11406931Rp4pro can be had for around 160 if you stack the right couponsSame performance as the 5 while being actually pocketable and doesn't have the oled meme
>>11396225Why can't I find any review that isn't just some dickhead trying it out for 20 minutes and talking about dumb shit like if it's easy to put games on it but nothing about technical info like screen testing, input lag end to end or anything useful?>It looks so cool!Fuck off.
>>11407062Because the Youtube algorithm is trying to turn everyone gay and retarded.
>>11407106Thanks Alex, do you know any good reviews for these things?
>>11407168No, I just buy based on how pretty the screen is and what systems it can play while avoiding stuff people in these threads complain about the build quality.
>>11406662He seems to be un-balding too
>>11406919If you're rich why are you here?
>>11407062I hate when I click on a video that says "review" and it's just some Nigger unboxing the console for the first time and telling me the dpad is great based on feeling it for 2.5 seconds
>>11406946Nintendo should've gone with the Retroid sticks, to be desu
i have a tsp and a r36. I love my tsp but it's too big for a daily carry. the r36 was better for a daily driver but the controls are too fucking shit. I even tried loosening the screw inside and everything and it's just too stiff when I play Megman X.Anyway any vertislop recommendations? I think vertical might be better for me since I played a lot more on the r36s compared to the TSP. Also what's the cheapest 100% psp compatibility?
>>11407209That's all of them, you ever see a wulfden video? >Long intro>Sponsorblock kicks in>here is new device, this is the buttons>it can run these systems>adding games is easy/hard>buttons feel good/badThe content around these handhelds is just trash. You can objectively measure things. That's all I want.
>>11407364I stopped watching wulff after he posted a vid of himself at a blm protest in 2020 on his personal channel
>>11407368wow i didnt think it was possible but i hate that faggot even more now
Why yes I'm running a hardware accelerated full loonix desktop natively on my chinkheld
>>11407396Why?
>>11407374I regret to inform you he has infected Japan
>>11406970Front firing speakers though
>>11407413It has bottom front speakers Also just use iems
>>11407402Why not?
>>11407464What additional use case does it provide you over not installing a full GNU/Linux desktop?
